Chapter 104 The Inescapable War

"Conversely, if we take Weiss in, we can use Weiss' influence in the tribe to call on those who do not agree with the ruling power of Cottal and Bassoon, and who do not agree with the war with the town of Derlin in the future. Lizardmen lay down their arms, and even have a chance to persuade them to join forces with us and work together to overthrow the illegal rule of 'Demon Son' Cottard and 'Kingslayer' Basson!" Roger concluded in a sonorous tone.

After hearing Roger's words, Joan couldn't help but respect the second young master of the mayor's family and admire his foresight and sagacity.

"Roger, have you ever told your father these words?"

"I want to say, but unfortunately I never had a chance to speak." Roger shrugged helplessly, "In the eyes of my dad, I will always be a kid who doesn't understand anything, so he doesn't bother to listen to me seriously when I say these 'big truths' .”

Each family has its own difficulties. Joan could understand Roger's depression, and felt the same way with his analysis. He immediately expressed that he could take Weiss in until the day he voluntarily left.

Regarding the security threat brought by the cold-blooded tribal coup to Delin Town, it is useless for the three powerless and hairless boys to worry about their hearts here. Joan suggested that Dick and Roger should find a chance to have a relationship with the mayor. Talk openly and honestly, and if it doesn't work, go to Flint for help. The survival of Derlin Town is at stake, and the old dwarf who is anxious and righteous will not sit idly by.

As the night deepened while chatting, brothers Dick and Roger bid farewell to Joan and Weiss for fear of arousing their father's suspicion and not daring to stay outside too late. Joan was unfamiliar with Weiss, and had nothing to say. He wanted to go down the mountain with Brother Tyndall, but suddenly remembered something. Stop talking.

"Mr. Vader, I really shouldn't trouble you. If it's inconvenient...I'll leave now!" Weiss got up resolutely and walked towards the door.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." Joan raised his hand to stop him, and hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Korn and Qiu De, do you remember the names of these two lizardmen?"

"Korn... Chude..." Weiss muttered to himself, "These two names are very common in cold-blooded tribes. Are there any more detailed characteristics?"

"Both of them are shamans." Joan added blankly.

"Shaman?!" Weiss was taken aback, staring at Joan for a long time without saying a word, his face changed rapidly, and he spoke after a while, "I roughly guess who you are referring to as Cohen and Qiu De. They disappeared mysteriously many months ago, there are rumors that they were murdered by a human mage and a gray bag beast, but there is no conclusive evidence...Mr. Vader, this matter must not be related to you, right?"

"If it's related to me, what do you want?" Joan asked calmly.

Weiss took a deep look at him, then turned his head to look at Gray. Both the human mage and the gray bag beast are here, and the truth is self-evident.

"Mr. Vader, I don't know what grievances you have with the brothers Cohen and Qiu De. Frankly speaking, even if I knew, I wouldn't want to get involved," Weiss looked sincere, "It's not because I can't protect myself now. For you, it’s because the two brothers are both Bassoon’s disciples. In public, we belong to opposing factions. In private, we are not only friends, but enemies. Unless the brothers died to defend the honor of the tribe, I have no obligation to replace them They took revenge—from what I knew of Cohn and Chud, they weren't the type to sacrifice their lives to defend the honor of their tribe."

"Indeed, as you expected, the conflict between Cohen, Chud and me is just a personal grievance, and has nothing to do with tribal honor." Joan briefly described the grievances between himself and Gray and the two lizardman shamans.

"Mr. Vida, this was not a big deal in the past. My father would not resort to violence for the sake of two young and vigorous shamans. However, it is not the same now. Elder Basong may use the death of his two beloved disciples as an excuse. Make some articles, not to mention..."

Weiss looked at Joan with a look of pity.

"Hey, Mr. Vader, I have to tell you some bad news. Both Cohen and Chud are Cottard's younger brothers. The 'Devil's Son' is not a tolerant and reasonable person. You... Take care."

Joan's heart was cold when he heard it, and he barely kept calm, and said to Weiss: "In a few days, I will leave Delin Town and go to Leiden Port to study. If Cottard wants to avenge his brother, he will go to Leiden The Hong Kong Olympiad Academy is looking for me."

"No matter how crazy Cottard is, he would not dare to break into the capital of the human colony of Alfheim to seek revenge. Mr. Vader can keep himself safe in Port Leiden, but... please forgive me, just like Mr. Roger just now As I said, the grievances between you and me and Cottard's party are just excuses for him to use. If Cottard decides to invade Delin Town, even if you and I leave this town, Cottard will still launch the invasion Find other excuses." Weiss said meaningfully.

Joan had to admit that what the lizard prince said was reasonable. The rebel party headed by Cottard and Bassoon only needs an excuse to invade Delin Town. As for the excuse, it doesn’t matter whether he is Joan or Weiss. The question is whether the town councilors headed by Jason Tyndall will also Can you have such a clear understanding? Joan didn't dare to be optimistic about this.

Saying goodbye to Weiss, who was also preoccupied, Joan left the forest hut and couldn't help but stop when he passed by the door of his grandfather's house. After hesitating for a long time, he finally bit the bullet and knocked on the door.

Old man Tell was dozing off in an armchair by the fireplace. When he heard the knock on the door, he yawned and looked over. He seemed to notice that his grandson's face was extremely heavy. The sleepiness on his face disappeared immediately, and his eyes became extraordinarily bright.

"Tell me, what trouble did you get into this time?"

Surprised by his grandfather's keen insight, Joan sat down on the chair opposite the old man and told the whole story of today's experience in the woods, including the grievances between himself and the Gray and Cottard families.

The old man Tire frowned, and he didn't sigh until Joan finished speaking.

"It seems that the peaceful days in Delin Town are coming to an end, and a bloody storm is coming."

"Grandpa, what should I do?" Joan asked anxiously.

"You don't need to worry about these things, go back to sleep, and remember to tell me in time if you have any new news."

Old man Thiel stood up on crutches, staggered to the closet, opened the closet door, took out a tuxedo and a top hat, and carefully dusted off the dust.

Qiao An didn't quite understand why grandpa suddenly became interested in picking up formal clothes that he hadn't worn for many years, and it was hard to ask, so he walked out of grandpa's hut full of doubts.
